| Abstract | This thesis examines the interpersonal function of tones in Mizo, a Tibeto- Burman language spoken mainly in Mizoram, the North-Eastern part of India. The theoretical framework employed for this research is the Systemic Functional theory of Halliday (1970, 2004). The main objective of this research work is to investigate the interpersonal function of tones in Mizo, focusing on the systems of MOOD (lexicogrammar), SPEECH FUNCTIONS (semantics), and KEY (the phonological realization of attitudinal meanings). The present study investigated the relationship between the linguistic and extralinguistic levels of language, i.e. the realization of contextualized meanings, by adopting a trinocular perspective. This entailed a study of the construal of meanings (semantics) by clauses of different Mood types (lexicogrammar), and the realization of these meanings by the system of TONE (phonology). Mizo, like most Southeast Asian languages, employs distinct interpersonal elements for Mood distinction. Therefore, firstly, the Mood types were identified by a thorough study of the interpersonal elements of Mizo and the MOOD system for each Mood type was set up. Secondly, the system of SPEECH FUNCTIONS was set up and the realization (both congruent and incongruent) of the speech functions in the lexicogrammar was studied. Finally, the interpersonal function of the TONE system of Mizo was researched through the acoustic study of contextualized examples to determine the function of Mizo tones in the construal of attitudinal meanings. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
